Anything that is recycled is taken to the back room/stock area and put into a large box that is on a shipping pallet. Every so often once the box is full, that box is shrink wrapped and picked up by the "returns truck" and it all goes to an e-waste recycler.

Knowledge about this is from me working for Staples for 8 years. I was Electronics supervisor for 6 of those 8 years with keys to the store, and I was their "Inventory Associate" for a year.

I took in a corded mouse and a couple of useless car chargers and the manager said "You are our first tech recycler!" She seemed happy about it and printed out a receipt. I go by this store several times a month so once a month I will drop off a couple things. Like all of you, I have numerous RS-232 cables, serial port connectors, a couple dozen RCA cables and other useless junk. If they can recycle it and I get 5.00 for a 5 minute stop, it's all good.

No $5 reward though right?
Correct. I was simply responding that there are places which will readily accept electronics for recycling.

Do they destroy it in front of you? Or is it based on honor?

I'm assuming so. I sometimes have to manually disassemble hard drives to ensure the data isn't recoverable, and they take the pieces (in a plastic bag) just fine.

Is the paper shredding free?
It says $ per pound. not free, sounds like a service they provide for a cost
